Trump's $1 Billion Pro Bono Pledge Audit: Firms Aiding Tariffs vs. Fighting Back

Discover how nine major law firms allocated their promised billion dollars in pro bono services for Trump’s causes, revealing which firms are supporting the administration’s trade agenda and which are actively challenging it in court.

Short Summary

  • Two major firms, Kirkland & Ellis and Scadden Arps, are reportedly prioritizing work for the Commerce Department on tariffs, essentially cashing in on the pledge by servicing the administration.
  • Boris Epshteyn is identified as the key negotiator who brokered the initial agreement between Trump and the Big Law firms.
  • Other firms, like Milbank Tweed and Paul Weiss, are using their pro bono capacity to sue the Trump administration over immigration and conduct. This analysis tracks the divergence of the firms’ commitments, contrasting support for Trump's trade policies against active legal opposition to his administration.
